Title: Bally 5000+ coin mechanism problem
Post by: actionpaintball on October 30, 2012, 01:06:00 AM
I finally got my bally 5000+ powered up after a fresh power supply.  I can't get a coin to register, just drops through to the tray.  After looking at the coin mechanism, I am now thinking that there may be some missing parts?  Unfortunately I have no other slots to compare it to and cannot find any good pictures.  Could anyone help me out and see if something is missing from the pics?

Display does not change at all.  The "rake" just pulls the coin to the tray.  I did remove the rake (assembly and solenoid) and flop it to the side and the machine plays and pays.  So I am assuming is the comaparitor???  The only one bad thing the rake removal causes is; the machine only takes a max of 2 coins....If you accidently put a 3rd coin in with the rake disabled, it throws an error.  It's OK for a temp bandaid fix, but I want to try and get the machine back 100%.  I will keep messing with it and possibly end up buying a caparitor, but want to try my best to trouble shoot it.  I am also getting an occasional #2 reel spin error irregular reel spin.  I am going to pull and clean everything and see if that helps.
